Danny Greene - A Horseshoe made of Rabbits Feet and 4 Leaf Clovers

from History Goon · host Kevin Carleton

Danny Greene was born into misfortune. He was born in Cleveland, Ohio. Mom died right after he was born due to complications of his delivery, Dad was a raging drunk. He would end up bouncing around from living with Dad and Grandpa, to an Orphanage, back to Dad and Step-mom and then back to Grandpa’s. Believe it or not, he was getting into trouble THE ENTIRE TIME this was going on. He did a short stint in the Marine Corp and then got into Union work. He worked his way up from a loader/unloader on the docks all the way up to the head of the ILA Union in Cleveland. He of course abused this power like ALL Union guys seem too but, he also started rubbing people the wrong way when he got hooked into the underworld of Cleveland. Yeah sure, he’s working with the Mafia but why would that stop him from being abrasive and making the wrong enemies? Join me as we tell this wild story and get into all the times Danny Greene proved the “Luck of the Irish” was a real thing for him…
